Rough Works Cited Page showing that Vitamin D (Through Antimicrobial Polypeptides) might be a major Player (Some are new and have not been peer reviewed yet). For the record, currently there is no data that directly points to Vitamin D Deficiency as being a risk factor. This page is for informational purposes only and puts lots of data at your finger tips and may help you understand Enveloped Respiratory Viruses

Someone, Please Study Vitamin D Deficiency as a possible Risk
Factor for not only Covid-19, but for most Enveloped Respiratory
Pathogens!!! Especially in Black and Minority Populations
who are worse off coming out of winter due to having more
melanin in their skin which increases the odds of Vitamin D
deficiency.
